54 = 3x + 37.5 <== ur equation....and x = number of years
54 - 37.5 = 3x
16.5 = 3x
16.5 / 3 = x
5.5 = x......so it would take 5.5 years...or 5 1/2 years <=
For a rational number to have a terminating decimal expansion
q should be in the form 5^m and 2^n or both. If q is not in the form of either then it is a non terminating recurring decimal expansion
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The square root of a number is a number than when multiplied by itself, you get the original number.
For example, the square root of 4 is 2 since 2 * 2 = 4, but the square root of 4 is also -2 since (-2) * (-2) = 4. Since the product of 2 negative numbers is positive, and the product of two positive numbers is also positive, each positive integer has two square roots, one positive and one negative.
The cubic root of a number is a number that when you cube you get the original number. To cube a number, you must find the product of 3 equal numbers. For example, the cubic root of 8 is 2 since 2 * 2 * 2 = 8. The cubic root of 8 cannot be -2 since (-2) * (-2) * (-2) = -8, not 8. When you multiply 3 positive numbers together, the product is positive. When you multiply three negative numbers together, the product is negative. Because of this, a positive number has a positive cubic root, and a negative number has a negative cubic root. A positive integer has only one cubic root.
